Today, the gold standard for diagnosing Helicobacter pylori infection is by urea breath test (UBT). However, UBT tests are not widely available in several remote areas in Indonesia. Stool antigen test (SAT) is an alternative diagnostic test for H. pylori infection. However, it is unclear whether the performance of SAT to diagnose H. pylori infection can be comparable with UBT accuracy. This report was aimed to determine the accuracy of SAT to diagnose H. pylori infection as an alternative to UBT. Our case-based literature review indicates that SAT has high sensitivity (79–96.4%); therefore, SAT can help doctors in ruling out H. pylori infection. SAT also demonstrates remarkable specificity of stool antigen examination (98.6–100%), suggesting that SAT can help doctors in ruling in H. pylori infection. © 2021 Haifa Mayang Lestari, Jatmiko Gustinanda, Nadzila Anindya Tejaputri, Nur Afiahuddin Tumpu, Taris Radifan, Melva Louisa.
